You ordered an Ultimate kit (U1) on 11-July-2012. We started having correspondence about it going missing, on 11-August-2012. At that time Steve G0XAR was shipping, from the UK. He sent you a replacement kit on 13-August-2012. You reported that both the replacement kit, AND the original one, turned up together on 21-August-2012 on the same day.???

So in that case it appears that UK to US shipping of your first Ultimate kit took 6 weeks (the replacement taking only 1 week). That kind of delay appears very rare and it seems a big coincidence that it has happened to you twice now. So I wonder if there is something particular/peculiar about your local customs office or post office. Very strange.

In any event the prior experience seems to suggest that we should wait a bit longer. Anyway, we have no choice in the matter, since there are currently no U2 kits to be able to ship a replacement yet anyway.

Fingers crossed, I hope it turns up soon.

Hans,

From your spreadsheet, I see that the average number of shipping days to the US is 6.6.??? I ordered my kit on April 20, and it still has not arrived.??? If it was one of the first 200, my data will cause a considerable skew to your statistics.

Could you tell me whether the kit has been shipped yet?

Best regards,

Hi all

I finally got round to typing all my order details into a big spreadsheet and doing some statistics. From time to time I'll update the charts.

1) The number of LPF kits that have been ordered so far, total 637. Remember, not all of these have been sent out - there are 48 Ultimate2 orders currently pending since the first set of 200 sold out and I am getting the new set together. So the numbers in the chart includes the sent and the unsent orders.

2) The shipping information. Thank you to everybody who wrote to told me when their kit arrived, I have compiled all this information and arranged it into a table, by country - so that you can see the minimum, average, and maximum shipping times to your country.

See???
